Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm Polystyrene Test Tube Overview
The Globe Scientific 12 x 75mm Polystyrene Test Tube (SKU 110413) holds a 5mL working volume and arrives molded from clear polystyrene for routine sample handling. Each tube measures 12 x 75mm, a standard footprint compatible with common rack systems and benchtop equipment. Clarity of the polystyrene supports quick visual inspection of contents.
Packaging keeps these tubes organized for high-throughput work. Globe Scientific supplies them in oriented boxes of 250, with four boxes bundled into a single unit and 1000 tubes per case. Oriented presentation lets technicians draw tubes uniformly, reducing fumbling at the bench during repetitive tasks.

Laboratory Applications
Polystyrene tubes in the 12 x 75mm format serve sample collection, aliquoting, and dilution across clinical, research, and educational labs. Their clarity helps technicians monitor color changes, precipitation, or fill levels without opening the tube. Compact dimensions fit standard tube racks and many automated platforms.
Use these tubes for short-term sample holding, reagent preparation, and routine assay setup. Disposable polystyrene reduces cross-contamination risk between runs, supporting workflows where single-use consumables are preferred. Confirm chemical and temperature compatibility with your specific protocol before use.
